The Institute of Medicine defines health care quality as “the degree to which health care services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes and are consistent with current professional knowledge.”

measuring quality

Determined by some measurement, health care quality is a level of value provided by any health care resource. These measures are usually defined by governing agencies, and accrediting organizations based on historical data and goals for establishing a minimum standard of care. Measures used to rate the level of quality care and service delivered by a provider or healthcare resource are based on the general population served by the provider, and sub-populations further classified by particular attributes such as a demographic identifier, health problem, and  health insurance plan.
